Well to know someone ASAP my friend, is a skill that you acquire with time, practice and experience. Just have a coffee-time/ tea-time conversation see what the person's likes or dislikes. Find a common ground to talk about and be open-minded! That'd be a long run.

It's not rude if you know the person. If it's a casual conversation you can just ask "Oh really? how so? is it the coffee?" (all in one sentence or separately).

YES! For example, you can ask that question if you've paid someone for a service. "May I ask why are you leaving a bit early? We've still got 15 minutes left/ We still have 15 minutes left." <-- One of the respectful ways you can ask a question which won't make the person feel annoyed or force interrogated.
